Are Natural Selection and Interdependence mutually exclusive?

It’s funny that something so fundamental to the Western scientific impulse, Natural Selection, can also be understood as the means for the interdependent nature of all things, the spiritual philosophy from the East.Natural selection is the process whereby lifeforms evolve with the features that allow for further procreation. What gets kept is what allows more life.It’s why you get owls that can camouflage with trees for example. This phenomena is the result of millions of years of this process.But the process is happening with all things at once, across all of space and time.This dynamic, of an organism responding to its external environment, even if it’s not conscious, is one that ultimately connects.Things do not develop or evolve in isolation or in abstraction, it’s always a mutual process between a thing and it’s externals. And this is the same for all things. A ‘thing’ in this case can be one organism, or a system of multiple organisms. There is no boundary, and therefore it can include entire ecosystems, a planet or The World, and beyond. It’s now easy to see what we can call one Gestalt movement. All things moving, responding and interacting in one big system.Interconnected and Interdependent.
